CLARKSON’S WASTE-STREAM ZAMBONI "A CLASS ACT"

Waste-Stream Inc. recently completed a $50,000 pledge to purchase for Clarkson University the Zamboni which has been resurfacing the ice of the Cheel Arena since 1995. The battery-powered Zamboni replaced a 12-year-old propane-fired machine.

“Waste-Stream, Inc. is proud to support Clarkson University and its outstanding varsity hockey program, as well as many other events that take place on the ice surface at Cheel Arena, by funding the acquisition of this important piece of equipment,” said Jim Bruno ’75, a former partner in ownership of Waste-Stream, until its recent purchase by Casella Waste Systems, Inc.

“We’re also pleased our request to reinstate the tradition of the Zamboni driver wearing a tuxedo while operating the machine during home varsity games has been revived -- it makes a statement about a team, and a University, which is a ‘class act,’” said Bruno.

Waste-Stream Inc.’s gift is a part of The Campaign for Clarkson, Clarkson University’s comprehensive capital campaign that was publicly launched in October 1998.
